I've been having a burst of linux activity recently, as might be evidenced by my forays into markdown and pandoc,
So much so that I'd been thinking about going and buying myself a refurbished thinkpad to install linux.
Well maybe I don't need to.
Power up my old imac again Install pandoc. Save the markdown documents into a 'to be processed' folder on dropbox. Pull the files down and run pandoc, and upload the output files. Save $250.
What's more, given that there's a bash curl script to upload to dropbox out in the wild it ought to be scriptable ....

So this is essentially the design pattern I've been using for years with various systems, starting with ICE (Integrated Content Environment) at USQ and now with CurateIt - being developed at UWS alongside our metadata stores work, essentially we have a daemon watching the file system (including network shares and DropBox folders copied to same) and generating web-ready previews for EVERYTHING, .md files are next on the list but it already generates HTML for office documents, generates image thumbnails, transcodes video etc.
